Marketing team told them, every time you want to use the word computer or a software, use AI instead.

2021 - automated order sorting, manual delivery. 2031 - automated order sorting, automated delivery.

I work for the distribution center of a major grocery store chain in the southeast. Our facility is over a mile long and we even have our own banana ripening rooms, cheese cutting rooms, and ice plant. The only robots we have are in the ice plant. All our orders are picked by hand by pickers and over 1, 000, 000 pieces are picked every day

There still advertising for human pickers for this job I have a interview this week for the night shift looking forward to it

Never seen a video where the word AI is so much abused as this one. I'm 99% sure that in most cases where the term AI was used, just a classic algorithm is used.
A classic algorithm provides 100% of the time the correct outcome on the other hand "AI" or better "machine learning" is a predictive model that is able to guess 98% of the time the wanted results. (at best)

The really interesting part is that a grocery warehouse ship-to-door model can open in less than six months in any area and be a competitor almost instantly.

0:49 for a second I thought someone had ordered a human head.

I find this very interesting even if it will put me out of work. Maybe we need to rethink the 38 hour week, maybe 20 hours a week could become full time work. We need to learn what to do with the extra time we have.

Heh, I istalled that pick station and decant station. 🤣

explain why canned food comes in chilled bags? and how some item swaps are chosen?

[BMWM]

@3.00 lol "generally they don't topple over" 😂😂😂 the robots are very top heavy and fall over pretty regularly.This is why some collided, burst the batteries and burnt down an entire warehouse!!!

[Hide_and_Tweak]

3:07 that robot didn't check behind before driving backwards. Would be fired at my job

There's an Ocado JUST FOR YOU.. We need this right now

[gregorycampbell]

I work in the states and we pick shoes all by hand using an RF scanner. No robots where I work.

A much better video than the Tom Scott video. A lot more depth in the same amount of time. I did not even pause once which is very rare for me. However, it seems a hell of a lot of work to load up trays, and then the robots pick up that tray for one order, and then sends the rest back. It would be far faster if a quantity was known on how many of that item has been ordered and then kept until all of those orders are filled, even though you will need a lot of room for this to work, but it would be far faster.

I need to learn robotics in order to get a job in the future then?

[oddity]

The staff putting the same products in the box to be sent in the grid, will one day be replaced aswell.

[greenmanreddog]

I thought we'd done away with plastic bags for home delivery in the UK? Asda certainly don't use plastic bags - except for certain 'wet' items.

[heredownunder]

It doesn’t seem very efficient for AI to bring a box of product for a human to pick ONE item up and place in a bag.

No labor union, No additional man power, and no salary increase... Wow future 👍👍
